London:
Hong Kong scientists have developed a robotic hand that allows
friends and family to hold hands with there loved ones over the
Internet.

The cyber-hand plugs into a computer and communicates with an
electronic wristband to allow people talking over the Internet to
experience the sensation of touch.

The hand can grip and shake as well as give the signs for ‘OK’ and
‘V’ for victory.

It also picks up the strength of the hand movement and is capable of
giving a weak or a firm handshake.

“At this moment the function is not perfect and it can’t copy
exactly, partly because the robot hand is different from the human
hand in terms of the degree of freedom of movement it has,” the Sun
quoted Professor Liu Yunhui, who led researchers from the Chinese
University of Hong Kong, as saying.

“There are also a few errors such as delays in processing and
mechanical problems. But in the future it will be possible to
produce more sophisticated and more dextrous movements,” Yunhui
added.

The current model is expected to go on sale by Christmas for around
20 pounds each. (ANI)
